Is sooooooo overated on here he has never beaten a top fighter (yet) he had 4 losses in a row in 05-06 lets be honest he was losing the nwodo fight before he stopped him
do you know why...becuase he is a esb poster. he has beaten world class fighters what a load of bull he said was ill and was a natural light heavy not a cruiser he s only trying to adapt to his wieght and he wasnt losing it was a close fight anyways this was a style mix that had no advantages to darnell. nwodo a jabbing moving hard chinned well tooled tall fighter somthing that wilson shouldnt be able to win....and he knocks out a guy who has an tested jaw.....not just knocked him out but that is ko of the year. he is limited in the department of punches left hook righ thand and a decent jab. is the same arrey of tools that wlad is using,originaly a light heavy moved up to cruiser and is now a grown into his frame, amazing jaw, good counterpuncher,and isnt afriad to fightg yo uand go toe to toe.t he was a great amatuer...(knocked out jeff lacy and stopped ) and every loss was to a good cruiserwieght fighter...and after all that is mayube the most honest fighter in the game
:-((Not sure as to the point of this besides getting people to react angrily and give you attention.. The fact is that people generally LIKE him here because he is a fan-friendly cool guy. It's only natural that people will cheer for him and say he's going to win. There is no reason to try and bring him down just because you don't like the attention and support he is getting.
Even if he sucked (which he doesnt) people would still like himk here because he represents ESB and is a stand up guy. The guy is on an incredible hot streak right now, with his power and great chin he fight with the best of his division.
i like him aswel which is why i put yet when saying he aint beat class fighters he seems down to earth and recognizes his ability but seeing threads like him vs prime holy or comparing him an tyson is ludicrous
Exactly. I don't know why people would try to put him down - he's turned his career around and is on a roll. With his power and chin he is a threat to upset ANY of the titlists - particularly Maccarinelli, who doesn't exactly have the greatest set of whiskers.:yep
i understand but this is a priem holy this is the modernday holyfield. darnells power could stop evander thats the point he is limited but he shows somthing that fighters dont have and thats improvement why i think sam peter is so talked about is his turn around abilty from untrained hammer lander to a puncher with a jab...miranda will get remembered. but yea i get ya
to be honest i hate these posts saying ...why dont you get in the ring with him:huh i WILL get knocked out by ross puritty but he aint a great boxer
And I can knock you out as soon as you'll stop running away:bbb . What is the point? The main idea of this forum is to discuss the fighters and share your opinion with the others. And if the fighter is a nice guy, like Ding, and he posts on ESB, it does not mean that he should be immediately idolized. I dont think that Ding himself likes a bunch of asskissers. I think that he will prefer to hear your honest opinion and prove you wrong in the ring, vs. hearing sloby praises even when he loses.
He is on a roll thats for sure and he earned it the hard way. He is about to get a title shot. When someone beats top contenders in an impressive fashion like Wilson did, people jump on the bandwagon. He would have fans here even if he didnt post here.
:happy :happy Amen brotha!!! Ding is a great guy, who quite a few of us have become pretty cool with....I wouldnt care if he was 1-120-6, knowing him, I would still cheer for the guy. Plus, he definately has beaten some good quality comp. Davis, Nwodo, Brown, Judah. All good to very good fighters. Plus, he can take just about anyones hardest punch, and most people cant take his hardest one...so who wouldnt favor that guy over most, if not ALL of the CWs out there!! Do ya thing Ding!!!! :good
Really? He was knocked out in his 4th fight at 19 years old. Big deal, noone has done it since. Braithwaite tagged him clean several times and he didn't go anywhere. What exactly indicates that his chin is bad?
